In exploring of our own solar system, astronomers have
uncovered some weird worlds. However, these are nothing
compared to the lands harboured by our neighbouring stars.
Huge Jupiters snuggle so close to their star that their
years last only as long as our days. Planets are resurrected
around stars that have long been dead. Other worlds begin
their nights with dual sunsets, like Tatooine in Star Wars,
drown in global water oceans, as in Interstellar, or even
have seas of tar. These worlds can be more extreme than
anything in fiction and prompt us to ask if any could be
called home.
